Mission Statement

Handicapped High Riders Club, Inc., located at Riding High Farm is a   10 ½ acre farm, indoor riding facility and stable, organized in 1979 as a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 corporation, dedicated  to providing special needs riders with recreational and therapeutic instruction.   

 

Riding High Farm is situated on 145 Route 526 on the border of western Mercer and eastern Monmouth County, midway between the City of Trenton and Township of Freehold in Central New Jersey.  

 

We seek to enrich the lives of physically, cognitively and emotionally challenged persons through riding instructions that engage special needs individuals in a mainstream recreational and sport activity and by improving therapeutically through the modality of the horse both physical and cognitive functions.

 

Associated and Certified by the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA) we strive to maintain the highest standards of care, safety and instructional benefits for special needs riding.   Increasingly reaching out and extending our programs,  we provide individual hyppotherapy and group lessons to school districts that require physical education for special needs students.  

 

Our goals include the integration of the able-bodied with the special needs by expanding our inclusive summer camp riding program for children and the recruitment and training of volunteer and community service workers to assist our professional staff to conduct riding lessons, maintain our horses and facilities and assist in fundraising.
